More About the 2010 Influenza Vaccine

Since my last post about Influenza, the Vaccine and Vitamin D I've come across more pertinent information:

• Several nations banning flu shots for babies: Here's more about the 2010 flu shot triggering neurological disorders in children and teens, and some countries banning the shot from children as a result.
• CDC: Vaccine Selection for the 2010-2011 Influenza Season: This talks about the makeup of the current vaccine, which includes the H1N1 vaccine along with 2 strains of influenza.  The vaccine administered in the Northern Hemisphere is the same as the one given in the Southern Hemisphere.

Given this information, one would think the United States would reconsider promoting the influenza vaccine, but doctors all over the US are still telling their patients to get the shot, along with propaganda everywhere.  Even pregnant women are being encouraged to get the vaccine, when we don't really know what effect it could have on them or their unborn children.

Dangers of Disposable Diapers

Disposable diapers are filled with chemicals that help keep the diapers drier and enable manufacturers to make them thinner and lighter. Pampers new Dry Max diapers are thinner and lighter than any other Pampers diapers, but they are possibly causing chemical burns on infants. Ouch!

Incidentally, it's because of these chemicals that it takes 500 years for a single disposable diaper to decompose. Ew!

Yet another reason I'm glad I use cloth diapers.

Poem: The Dangers of Pregnancy and Childbirth

This poem pokes fun at doctors and nurses, but there is also some truth in it.

The Dangers of Pregnancy and Childbirth

Author Unknown

You're risky if you're big

You're risky if you're small

You're risky if you have 5 kids

Or if you've none at all

You're risky if you're young

You're risky if you're old

You're risky if the weather's hot

And also if it's cold

It's risky with a midwife

It's risky on your own

But with half a dozen strangers

You'll have no need to moan

You have to be in bed

Cause it's risky in a pool

If you don't get out to push

You really are a fool

In fact, we'd better cut you

It won't come out "down there"

We OBs always know what's best

If you refuse, BEWARE:

Your child will be disabled

That's if she doesn't die

You'd best believe me dearie

Cause OB's never lie

So be a good girl now

And just do as We advise

[whispered aside]

We'll have her done in time for golf

If only she complies
